Chapter 44: Two Lizards

"It doesn't look like he's been seriously injured, just has some fractures." Punisher Frank rushed to the Hudson River after receiving Jason's call. Jason took him to his secret base to see if Spider-Man Peter was seriously injured.

"I used a support frame to fix the position of his bones to prevent displacement. If his recovery ability is good, he will recover in a few days." Frank wrapped the little spider like a dumpling.

"Oh~ Thank you buddy, my name is Spider-Man, you can call me that." Peter was wrapped up like a dumpling, and he stretched out his hand stiffly to shake hands with Frank.

"Frank Castle." Frank did not give himself a nickname and never concealed his face in any way. The name of the Punisher was given to him by his enemies.

"I saw the news before, and you guys made quite a stir in the Bronx. What's the origin of that big lizard?" Frank found a simple chair and sat down and asked.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing. It is said that it escaped from the Disabled Veterans Hospital. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Osborn Group." Jason certainly knew that this thing was caused by the failed experiment of Connors and Peter, but now he could only pretend not to know.

"This thing is very troublesome. We have to stop him! After turning into a lizard, his bloodthirstiness and the dark anger in his heart will be infinitely magnified, which will cause a lot of damage and many innocent people will be injured." Peter continued.

"How do you know that you will become more bloodthirsty and angry after turning into a lizard?" Frank looked at Peter with suspicion. A qualified intelligence officer can always find suspicious points in the other party's unintentional words and deeds.

"Because~ because when I went to the Osborne Group to purchase spider silk, I accidentally heard them talking about a new project they were developing, which was this lizard serum, and this is the side effect." Peter's response this time was pretty quick, at least the lie was self-consistent.

However, this level of lies is still not enough to deceive Frank. But Frank has no intention of pursuing the matter now. After all, everyone has secrets that they don't want to be discovered. As long as he has justice in his heart, he doesn't want to pursue some details.

"Where did you find this little guy? Is he an adult?" Frank suddenly turned to Jason and asked.

"I picked it up from the garbage dump. As for the adult, I think he should be an adult, but this Spider-Man looks childish. I generally don't hire child laborers." Jason was looking for food in the box where he stored food and drinks.

"Hey! I wasn't picked up from the garbage dump! And I clearly told you~I am an adult." Spider-Man protested angrily.

"Okay, great Spider-Man, eat something first!" Jason threw a bottle of milk and two bags of cheese bread to Peter.

Jason and Frank had beer, sausages, a bottle of Mexican peppers, a whole slice of cheese and toast. After playing for so long and running so far tonight, Jason really felt hungry.

"Hey~hey~hey! This is not fair! Why can I only drink milk and eat cheese bread? This is something only elementary school students eat!" Peter protested. Compared to the two people who were eating sausages with beer and chili, the midnight snack in front of Peter was just like a baby meal.

"The patient cannot eat spicy or greasy food! And even if you have a passport, I think you are definitely not of legal drinking age." Jason bluntly rejected Peter's request to eat sausages and drink beer. The legal drinking age in the United States is twenty-one.

For Peter's healthy growth, Jason decided not to let him get involved in alcoholic beverages too early. Then Jason, who was only 17 years old, clinked the bottles with Frank and drank half of the bottle of beer in one gulp.

While Jason and his two companions were eating and drinking in the secret base, the lizard Zod was hiding in a corner licking his wounds alone.

The parts injured by Jason have begun to recover, and the claws that were cut off are also growing again. The recovery at the cost of consuming a lot of his own energy has made Zod feel hungry and tired.

But he didn't dare to go out to look for food now, because his current size was too obvious and he would be discovered if he went out. Zod was hiding in an abandoned dam building.

Because a larger dam was built upstream of the river, this dam, which originally supplied electricity to the surrounding areas of New York, was abandoned and has been abandoned for more than ten years.

This dam was discovered by Zod when he was studying. At that time, it was the place where he and his friends had secret gatherings. Many precious memories were left here, and it is now the only place where Zod can feel safe.

"Zod~! Zod! Are you there?" Just when Zod was suffering from hunger and fatigue, a voice suddenly came.

The voice seemed familiar, but Zod didn't dare to confirm whether it was the person he was familiar with. Now he had become a monster and no longer believed in other normal humans.

Zod immediately found a place to hide, and secretly used his eyes with thermal imaging capabilities to look in the direction where the sound came from.

There was a figure in that place, and it was getting closer and closer. "Zod~! It's me! I'm Reed, and I'm here to help you!" The person who came was the Chameleon Reed.

Zod and Reed were good friends when they were in school, and they both joined the army. Zod graduated from West Point Military Academy and was a grassroots commander serving as a platoon leader in the army, while Reed was an ordinary young man who was recruited and was assigned to Zod's subordinates after joining the army.

The two childhood friends fought side by side for two years, and they eliminated many terrorists and rescued many ordinary civilians who were kidnapped and held hostage by terrorists.

The two of them strictly abided by military discipline, and remained clean even in the chaotic Middle East where a girl's virginity could be purchased with a piece of chocolate. Because of their leadership, a platoon under Zod became the most courageous and well-organized unit of the local US military.

The two had imagined ending the war together so that the local people could live in peace. Perhaps this idea was naive, but it was the passion of the two young men.

But everything was ended by a car bomb on the roadside of Baghdad. Zod's platoon was out on a mission and was attacked by a car bomb. Only Zod and Reed survived out of the 15 people in the platoon.

The remaining thirteen people all returned to heaven, leaving with their ideals and regrets. The remaining two, Reed and Zod, became disabled, and both were ruthlessly abandoned by the government.

The more passionate a person was in the past, the angrier he will be after he turns evil. Both Reed and Zod are disappointed with the government, and this disappointment eventually turns into immense anger.

So Reed participated in the company's transformation plan without hesitation, and Zod agreed to Dr. Sean's human experiment. They were all looking forward to the day when they would have the power to take revenge on this unscrupulous government!

Zod, who was hiding in the dark, heard Reed's cry, but he still didn't dare to show up. It had been three years since Reed left the Disabled Veterans Hospital, and he was not sure whether Reed was a friend or an enemy now.

"Listen Zod! I've watched the news on TV and I know what's going on with you. I'm here to help you. I'm your best friend. Please believe me." Reed didn't have eyes with thermal imaging and couldn't see Zod in the dark, so he could only shout at the empty room.

"Reed, let's leave here! I can't guarantee that I won't hurt you. Do you know what I look like now?" Zod finally chose to persuade Reed to leave. Only his reason made him not want to hurt his friend.

"Zod! You are here after all, come with me. I can help you. Don't worry about hurting me, I am the same as you now." Reed heard Zod's voice and said a little excitedly.

Reed unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his gray-green skin and fine scales, just like a lizard. Zod walked out of the darkness in surprise and stared at Reed, who was transformed into a lizard like himself.
